display-time fires once a minute, which is much better than twice a
second...

If jit-lock timers are firing too often, that could certainly be fixed
too, as there's nothing inherent about that which requires frequently
firing timers when idle (or even when active, if all jit-locking has
been completed and jit-lock'd buffers haven't changed)...

It seems sense to fix such things, even if the _immediate_ benefit
is limited because of remaining issues.  One needn't do them all at
once, and each fixed issue makes things easier in the future.
